"On August 8, 1805, Sacagawea saw Beaverhead Rock and knew she was home. According to Lewis, '[T]his hill she says her nation calls the beaver's head from a conceived remblance of it's figure to the head of that animal. she assures us that we shall either find her people on this river or on the river immediately west of it's source; which from it's present size cannot be very distant.'"
